Security and Surveillance Videowall System In this security and surveillance application, 64 video inputs from CCTV cameras or IP video camera decoders are supplied to an Extron MAV Plus 6432 V matrix switcher, which feeds 24 inputs to the Quantum Connect. Satellite receivers provide two HDMI inputs to the system. Four additional inputs are supplied as computer-video signals, two DVI and two analog RGB for maps, data display, or DVR feeds in the surveillance system. The Extron RS-232 control protocol allows external system control for managing video input routing for the MAV Plus 6432 V matrix switcher, recalling window presets for the Quantum Connect, and switching input sources for the windows.

Public Lobby Display Videowall System This corporate videowall uses a mixture of pre-produced and live material for marketing communications, visitor greetings, digital signage, and news presentation in a lobby or other visitor facility. An Extron JMP 9600 HD player provides two channels of HD-SDI content that can be synchronized for wide format playback or independent presentation. Digital inputs for a PC and an HD satellite receiver provide live news and visual messaging. A 3G-SDI camera, located in the facility’s courtyard, can bring outdoor scenery indoors, turning the videowall into a virtual window to the outside. An Extron TLP 1000TV and IPCP 305 provide simple control for recalling display presets and selection of content for playback.
